An ADHD Morning Routine can make or break your day. Yes, we all need morning routines, but if you have ADHD, you need it more, simply because your executive function needs to be primed and ready to go for the day.
Since I started traveling, my ADHD morning routine has literally gone out the window and I needed to bring it back online ASAP because I couldn't focus on anything!
Now that my morning routine is back to a predictable state, I'm SO much better off. A solid ADHD morning routine can make or break the rest of your day, so please take this seriously!

The only routine I have is procrastination and inconsistency

@CarenMagill Год назад

Maybe it's time to start with a morning routine!

@LucaAnamaria Год назад

If you're stuck, just pick one tiny change. And practice implementing that every day for a week. If that goes well, you can add another one, and so on.

@AuntieAlexandra Год назад

Same!

@AuntieAlexandra Год назад

I’ve been re-reading my old planners and “create a morning routine” has been high on my to-do list for years. I don’t know why I can’t create one!

@LucaAnamaria Год назад

@@AuntieAlexandra Maybe because it seems too nebulous a topic. What the heck is a morning routine anyway? It will look different for everybody. How about pick one small action to add to your mornings that is aligned with your values? Meditation, a run, yoga, journalling...all these things are specific, concrete, and measurable.

“As though I am a toddler” is my new guideline in treating myself 😂 It’s weird but sometimes I just have to parent myself.

@Plethorality Год назад

That is IT !!! Like being a genius, having to look after a bored toddler, with no middle management to call on. Exhausting.

@CarenMagill Год назад

me too!

@aprilmae137 Год назад

I really need to wake up earlier as an ADHDer.... I LOATHE feeling rushed because although we are fueled by short deadlines I don't want to live my day to day that way. I am a bedtime procrastinator but not only that I typically get home later having a side business and so I don't eat until 9pm which makes me not ready for bed until close to 11pm because of digestion. I've tried to go to bed right after eating but it ends up being very low quality sleep. I don't really WANT to wake up earlier though, I'd rather have a lifestyle that supports my slow start to the morning (later morning).

@LucaAnamaria Год назад

I feel you. I'm the same.

@ginarusselhp 11 месяцев назад

gardening has changed my life, in the mornings interact with plants for 15-30 mins brings me so much joy and that dopamine helps me kickstart my day. Also unrelated and I know I commented already but I am so grateful I just stumbled upon your channel because I'm in the midst of switching meds, getting back into school, a new teaching job and I feel more empowered. I used to watch how to ADHD a lot but her tone and video style doesn't always resonate with me but you have such a wise presence that is so straightforward. so refreshing.

@lindalyons3223 6 месяцев назад

Hello! I am viewing this video late but I totally agree with you about a morning routine. I do everything I can so I don't have to "think" in the morning. I go as far as I can without annoying my husband LOL. I have my clothes ready, the coffee ready, the breakfast dishes and frying pan-ready. Then the pets: the bowls are clean, on the table with anything I need beside it. Whatever takes me 5 minutes at night, can take me 10-15 in the morning. I also have several alarms on my phone to keep me focused and on the way out the door or I fall into a worm hole LOL.

@Kennikus Месяц назад

I just saw someone put on five of those coiled loops with a tag on it, and each one has a task on it: sunscreen, face washing, pills, food, sunscreen. She can only take one off if she's finished the task. And totally agree--I've been waking up with phone plugged in on the other side of the room, and I don't touch the phone until noon if I can help it. I leave and go write at a cafe without the phone. This has super helped my brain create to do lists and focus more.

@kimfroman2023 Месяц назад

I found the only way for me to have a good morning routine is to prepare in the evening. Dishes done and kitchen clean makes me happy when I get up. I set everything up for feeding all the animals, and making my morning drink. So my p.m. routine lets me be on autopilot when I get up.

@yusafmagsi Год назад

I agree so much, if you look at your past if it didn't work the way you thought it should you should probably give it a shot this way where you take on the day having your cup full. The most important thing to point out is the morning Routine starts with the evening routine from the day prior. if you can't get your morning routine right, focus on your evening routine, and usually, that helps get a good morning routine going.

@CarenMagill Год назад

100%!

@Goiriath Год назад

I'm 40 and Adhd, and can't even relate to this. 😂 Autopilot? What autopilot? I have alexa reminders and stuff like that, but I have never had aan automatic routine. Every morning is remembering what I need to do today, in probably a different order to what it was yesterday. I'm great in a crisis or when problem solving or in new situations, because I am just dealing with things in the same way I have to deal with *everything*.

@Happytrace13 10 месяцев назад

I'm 44 & totally feel you!

@cordelianorris6337 5 месяцев назад

I wanted to like this comment and then realized that I already did 😂

@Goiriath 5 месяцев назад

I'd even describe that as a core symptom of ADHD - having a broken autopilot and time sense! A bunch of the other symptoms relate back to this, our working memory is trying to hold a bunch of 'have to do's' that are just routines for other people, and we're will power-ing through those tasks which means we have less for other tasks, and we have more burnout just from every day tasks that other people have on 'autopilot'.

@kjfreeman0866 10 месяцев назад

I have never found a more relatable person in my life. I’ve been binging your videos for a few days and not to sound dramatic but I think you’ve changed my life ❤ Thanks for what you do. I’m almost 40 and have struggled so hard with my adhd all my life(and now helping my son manage his).

@trudymccann3671 Год назад

I need to find my MoJo. Self-discipline, clean up my living environment, drink less wine, get to bed by 10 PM/not 3 AM! Purge my clutter, and exercise out the door daily! Yikes I have a lot of stuff to change! Thank you for the motivation. I am in my 70's, still in the battle of Life! A good thing in my book!

@thecreativemastermin 10 месяцев назад

I'm a mess in the morning mostly coz I live alone and the moment I wake up it reminds me of how lonely my day is gonna be. So I reach for my phone immediately to deal with that loneliness. But I'm trying. I just decided cut coffee out of my system (not caffeine entirely) so I can sleep better. I know my body is flooded with cholesterol as soon as I wake up so I am trying chamomile tea these days.

@Mouserocksnerd Год назад

I like this routine idea. I put so much stick into getting the perfect routine and them i get hung up on how long it takes. This seems simple and maintainable and it just takes the time it takes.

@Katlyn_Duncan Год назад

A small shift for me is to put a notebook next to my phone charger (which is next to a comfy chair) and do that download first thing. Great idea!

@shellyt9620 Год назад

Oh my gosh, I NEED this channel and content. So many lightbulb moments, now I understand why I struggle and do not enjoy vacations. It literally knocks me off kilter. I need that shirt also. 😂

@DaisyWalters-zp3jp Месяц назад

I remember lists of 3 best so right now it's gratitude, hydration & outside. I can do all 3 at once in 5 minutes if squeezed. Optimal activities include yoga, walking, meditation but those 3 quick basics are my foundation for the day to include the self care/ reparenting I need to be functional.

@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy Год назад

So strange for you to think that you're not an influencer when you literally coach people, record podcasts, and have a RU-vid channel with affiliate links. It's okay to stand fully in your power. ❤️

@CarenMagill Год назад

Good point! I guess I see myself more of a teacher than an influencer, but it's a fine line.

@VioletEmerald 7 месяцев назад

@vividgreen2348 Год назад

My morning routine is really important, because it affects me all day 🙏 so I get up 5 in the morning, do 10-15 min off yoga, then shower, eating breakfast, before I go to work at 6. If I have a day off ore holiday, my routine fall apart🙄🙈

@lyn437 Год назад

1 hour and you're out the door? that is totally impressive!! it takes me 3 and I'm still late.😖

@teadanilovic4909 Месяц назад

I gotta recommend Brili for routines, it's really convenient. When I wake up, I just press play and it walks me through my morning routine (meds, bathroom, teeth...) You can also skip any parts you don't have time for or push one part for later (if the bathroom is occupied for example) and it's soooo easy to use it, even on hard days

@glennarichards2933 11 месяцев назад

@islulison 9 месяцев назад

this routine works for sure, i have done it before in the past. my issue is consistency. like if literally anything goes wrong my entire routine gets messed up. i need a way to restabilize if something happens that disrupts me.

@AM.000 4 месяца назад

My everyday breakfast is bagel with 2 eggs, a meat (what ever is easiest), cheese, with jam, tajin, pepper and sometimes habanero hot sauce. Its filling and keeps me good for hours. My OMG-i-need-to-wake-up-early breakfast is making oatmeal the night before😅 with whey protein powder and add nuts and liquid (like milk) so i can eat it super quick. I like to eat, watch youtube for a bit, have an alarm set on my watch to switch to the next part of my routine. Generally I have a going out morning routine and a stay at home routine. What i need to add to my autopilot routine is exercise beyond stretching. I was doing 45 minute walks during covid, but i find i dont have time in the mornings + its dark outside.

@leannes4771 Год назад

Thank you for this, I've been wanting to get into a routine for a while but think my ADHD brain felt overwhelmed with where to start! Definitely taking some of these ideas to try, I know I feel better when I get out for air/sun rather than scrolling on my phone, yet rarely do it. I end up doing my first few meetings in PJs cos I've lost time! And ignoring my phone for a while would mean my dogs get out for a morning walk earlier rather than them having to go bathroom in the garden until I get my backside in gear around lunchtime! Sorry, personal brain dump! Lots to think about! Thank you

@sindylowry82 Год назад

@cherylparaiso6589 8 месяцев назад

I was in that same club and am a work in progress! What I have implemented recently is being part of the 5AM club. It is my magic hour for just me. There is something magical with the calm and quiet in the morning when no one is awake to bother you😂. It usually starts with some kind of short motivation, for me I found that listening to a 3-5min homily then my plan of action for the day (this tends to ground me). I got this inspiration hearing that monks have this routine to be up before the sun as a non negotiable!

@mayor_dj 9 месяцев назад

Scrolling an hour on my phone during mornings. Guilty as charged.

@teresastorms3774 11 месяцев назад

Ha, you sure called me out there at the end, when you said you know what we're thinking. I will need to think about an ideal morning routine and what that would look like. Everything is for the cats, then I stumble to my work chair to log in and try to work all day. That is not ideal! 😂

That said I appreciate the points you have made, especially the comments about the night before. That is very helpful. I also like your suggestion that one should assess what one wants one's ideal morning to be like. Simple, but important! Thank you. Oh and the tracker thing, that's good too.

@Puccinidb 7 месяцев назад

Not everyone has the luxury of starting their working day after 10 am and devoting hours to an ideal routine that feeds our creativity. Some of us have multi-hour commutes and have to be out the door before 6 am. I like much of your content, but this is feels so out of touch and ultra-privileged.

@CarenMagill 7 месяцев назад

That's fair. Ironically, I just had two other viewers reprimand me for using the term privileged for the opposite reason that you pointed out. I do recognize my privilege and I think it's important to call that out. What is equally true, is that I created everything I have in my life based on my own effort. I'm also 53, so I've been working for a long time. I'm basically semi-retired now. I share this because I know I'm not going to be resonant to everyone, but it's who I am and it's my life that I"m sharing. I can only be me.

@Ashley-tz6hf 4 месяца назад

Hey there, I thought this initially as well but it definitely is possible to make changes and shift things to accomplish what you want in the mornings. I work twelve hour days as an ER nurse with a 45 minute commute each way. I started trying to wake up at four to journal, meditate, eat breakfast and get ready so I can be out the door by 6 am. It helps so much, especially the breakfast part since I don't always get a proper meal break. I'm pulled in a thousand different directions all day and this routine really helps me to try to pull myself back in and "triage" my where my focus should be
